Chemical stoichiometry is discussed free from kinetic or thermodynamic considerations. The means for determining the following are presented: the number of stoichiometric degrees of freedom, the number of components, a permissible set of chemical equations, and a permissible set of components, for a closed system undergoing chemical reaction.…

The key to shortening the time-frame for this program is a special summer course in unit operations, and the replacement of the usual nine credits of minor courses with undergraduate chemical engineering courses. (BB)

Discussed is the changing role of women in the engineering profession. The author relates her twenty years of experience and outlook for the future. (CS)

Discussed are the ten specific skills which have been identified with successful engineering management. These include: team building; leadership; conflict resolution; technical expertise; planning; organization; entrepreneurship; administration; management support; and resource allocation. (CS)

Describes the state of employment of new science and engineering faculty in two-year and four-year colleges. About half of new faculty hired for the four-year colleges have doctorates, compared to about 4 percent for two-year institutions, and the trend is not expected to change over the next five years. (GA)

Discusses recent trends in job placement for BS, MS, and PhD graduates in chemical and chemical engineering. (CP)

Reports enrollment figures for science and engineering baccalaureates of 1974 and 1975. Provides availability information concerning the complete National Science Foundation (NSF) study. (CP)

Concern for the future of aerospace education and technology prompted this study of manpower needs conducted by NASA and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Conclusions of the study are reported in the article. (MA)

A review of a few of the year's highlights. (BB)

Women engineering students differ in important respects from men engineering students as they begin their studies. These differences are presented, and their importance for engineering education is discussed. (Author)

Reports some of the results of the recent NSF survey of science and engineering graduates' employment in the field. The overall labor force participation rates for baccalaureates and master's degree recipients were around 96 percent. (MA)

Describes the scientific accomplishments of the International Program of Ocean Drilling (IPOD) during its first decade. Notable are the scientific contributions to understanding the sea floor. Critical decisions for the second decade include economic and social implications. (MA)

A summary of the characteristics of human performance and requirements of the built environment that provide accessibility. (Author/MLF)

This paper describes the introduction of a multiple-choice test into the existing framework of examinations at the University of Nottingham. The examination papers and administrative techniques are described. (SD)
